Funny Pavement video helps lift spirits

LORELEI the cat is sick and the USA lost to GHANA, so I needed a laugh this evening.
Cue the "PAINTED SOLDIERS" video by PAVEMENT.
"Painted Soldiers" is a non-album track by SCOTT "SPIRAL STAIRS" KANNBERG.
In the video, he fires the remainder of the band members and replaces them with the female-fronted band VERUCA SALT.
It's one of the funniest music videos I have ever seen (although I am biased, I adore Pavement).
Here's how Kannberg fires the band:
Bob Nastanovich -- given a message while watching a horse race.
Scott West -- sent a video tape of Kannberg tearing up his contract. Strangely, West sits in a recliner surrounded by kids who sob when he's fired.
Mark Ibold -- after threatening a woman (Ibold appears to be a greasy pimp character), he notices the news of his firing scrolling across an illuminated sign.
Stephen Malkmus -- is driving in a red sports car when he receives a fax that reads "You're fired." Malkmus then phones an ambulance that pulls up behind his sports car and takes him away.
Kannberg then directs the new members of Pavement (Veruca Salt) with a megaphone.
The video is goofy and provided much needed relief on a rather depressing day. You can see the video yourself by clicking here.
Get well soon, Lorelei.
